A gainer is slang term for an acrobatic skill in which the
acrobat performs a backwards somersault while still moving
forward. In diving, this
is known as reverse rotation (as opposed to front, back, or
inward). Many stunt performers and martial
artists are capable of performing a similar skill on the
ground, sometimes in combination with a midair inverted kick.
